No Weakness
Rod Wave Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴(Trillo Beats, you did it again)
(Dmac on the fucking track)

Every time I leave, she beg for me to stay
But baby girl, I can't
I run the streets all night, run the streets all day
Run the streets all day
Me don't want love, love is for the weak man

Me cannot trust, me can not depend
Yeah, yeah (okay)
Yeah, uh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

Somehow I keep on losing all my friends
I came to the conclusion it's not them
Where do I go to get some peace? Toss and turning when I sleep
Change my number every week, I got some pain that's running deep, yeah
I don't shed tears anymore
'Cause love don't live here anymore
I'm sorry baby girl I got to go
Whether if you like it or you don't
'Cause I've been here too many times before
I wonder when they look at me, yeah
I wonder what they see
Wondering if they can see the pain underneath
Wondering if they can see the change I increased
Brodem really swang it for me
We tear down their whole gang when it's beef
Leave a nigga brains in the street
50K'll have 'em swangin' for weeks
You better have that thang when they creep, yeah

And I can't get no sleep, I got to stay up
I'm in love with the skreets, I can't lay up
It's like I feel myself falling then I wake up
I'ma die a paper chaser
My whole life I've been running, baby
Like someone's coming, baby
I have a hard time trusting, baby
Can't trust for nothing, babe

And every time I leave, she beg for me to stay
But baby girl, I can't
I run the streets all night, run the streets all day
Run the streets all day
Me don't want love, love is for the weak man, yeah
Me cannot trust, me can not depend
Yeah, yeah (wonder do you feel me)
Yeah, uh (I wonder if you feel me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (wonder if you gon' understand)
Yeah, mm

Woohoo that shit fucked

That nigga said me don't want love, love is for the weak man
Hahaha, fuck is wrong with you man?

Overall Meaning

In Rod Wave's song "No Weakness," the singer is torn between his love for the streets and a relationship. He acknowledges that his girlfriend begs him to stay every time he leaves, but he knows he can’t because he feels like he is running the streets all day and night. Rod Wave overall rejects the idea of love, equating it to weakness, and instead trusts only himself, cognizant of what it takes to make it on the streets. He also reflects on how he “keep(s) losing all (his) friends” and the difficulty in finding peace while struggling through deep pain. He accepts that love doesn't live with him anymore and apologizes to his girlfriend, claiming that he has to leave because he has been down this road before. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the toughness that life demands under difficult circumstances, where trusting someone else or love in general can be detrimental.
